<p>Hi, my parents and I are a little confused on what we are supposed to send. I got an email saying I needed to submit </p>
<p>"A completed signed copy of your parents' 2007 federal income tax return, including all required Schedules and all Partnership or Corporate returns, is required if your parents filed or will file a tax return for 2007."</p>
<p>What does a "completed signed copy of your parents' 2007 federal income tax return" mean?
Is it talking about copies of the worksheets (1040) that we're sending or a copy of the actual check from the IRS?</p>
<p>But then it says, "Do not send tax worksheets unless required for submission to the IRS."</p>
<p>We're confused; Seems like we're overthinking it or just looking past the obvious, but would appreciate any help!</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Your parents (and you) completed tax returns (yes that is the tax form 1040, 1040A, or 1040 EZ) for 2007. You must submit completed and signed copies of the returns, including any schedules you may have completed. If you have a partnership or corporate return that YOUR family completed, that must be submitted as well. Usually the IDOC also wants copies of all W-2, and 1099 forms. </p>
<p>Now...if you submitted your tax returns electronically, you will need to print out copies and sign them where the signatures are required. </p>
<p>I hope someone else responds to this...we did IDOC "stuff" two years ago, and this is the best of my recollection of what we did.</p>
<p>I will agree with you that "tax return" is an odd way name for the tax form.</p>
<p>I was wondering, is it just the first two pages of the actual 1040, or do we also include attachments for dividends and stuff? I mean it already says it on the tax forms so I'm not sure if we need to send those extra pages.</p>

<br>
<p>Those "attachments" are your schedules and they must be included. You include EVERYTHING you sent to the IRS with your return.</p>
<p>Ah ok, thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Let me amend that...You include COPIES of everything you sent in with your tax return.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Unfortunately the IDOC people are off during the weekends, but I'll definitely give them a call on Monday to confirm it with them. I'll post back.</p>
<p>Again, thanks</p>
